Purdue in 2000
High degree of local autonomy
Numerous IT organizations including multiple “central” organizations
Trustees recruited new President with a mandate to develop a strategic plan for preeminence
President brought in a new team including Purdue’s first CIO – non-traditional candidate
CIO position based on a plan developed by the University community

Purdue Strategic Plan
Strategy• Enhance library and other information
resources, and provide state-of-the-art computational and information technology resources supporting campus wide research, learning environments, and the business enterprise
Metrics• Library acquisitions • Electronic library and other information access services and usage • Computational and information technology improvements and
expenditures, and annual assessment of needs met

5
Funding the Plan
Strategy• Purdue's vision … will require a carefully constructed funding scheme to support and implement
the strategic plan. • The University strategic plan, along with the strategic plans of the schools and other major units, will
establish the framework for setting annual priorities and guiding the major budgetary decisions.
Interdependence of various funding sources and the importance of a partnership of these funds in supporting key initiatives
• State Appropriations• Federal Appropriations• Fees and Tuition• Sponsored Funding• Internal Reallocation• Private Giving• Revenues from Licenses and Patents
Key Investment Areas• Strengthening the infrastructure including facilities and information technology

Translating the IT Vision Into Action
Develop IT strategic plan in collaboration with both central and distributed IT staff
Consolidate and integrate central IT activities creating ITaP
Update, upgrade and in some cases re-engineer the infrastructure (lifecycle replacement strategies)
Build alliances with faculty and distributed IT support staff
Began to think as an enterprise!
7
IT Strategic Plan
The Information Technology Strategic Planning Task Force was charged with developing a vision and implementation plan for creating a world-class digital information infrastructure and building services that support all of Purdue’s strategic efforts.
Strategic principles drove the development of the plan:
• Collaboration is essential for this plan to succeed. • Applications drive the need for technology and
technology should never be thought of as an end in itself.• An enterprise approach assures leverage.• Users must have ubiquitous access to resources.

Community Cluster
11
HPC Community Cluster
Schools/Departments/Faculty buy into a the cluster by purchasing individual identical compute nodes
• current participation: Science; Engineering; Agriculture; Bio; ME; ECE; EAS; Mgmnt; Physics
ITaP aggregates all nodes together and operates as a single cluster• in practice this has become multiple clusters and we have gone from 1 to 15 teraflops
on the floor in a little over a year
Through scheduling (Maui) ITaP guarantees that a contributor can receive on demand the number of nodes that were contributed
Priority access to additional nodes is given to contributors to the community cluster
• three layer strategy using Condor
Benefits:• Leveraging a larger resource with their investment• No burden of administration, i.e. purchasing and managing• Professionally managed off site• Housed in centralized facilities freeing departments from converting academic space to
machine rooms
MOU’s and SLA’s are established to cover a three year commitment
12
Resource Initiatives
Envision Center Faculty driven initiative Managed & supported by ITaP Funded by Purdue (operations); NSF grant,
(equipment); vendors (IBM, Intel) Over 50 projects & center written into 34
proposals
Purdue Terrestrial Observatory Real-time earth observing multiple
satellite receiving station
Support - seed money, integration with VPR led environmental initiative and project oversight by CIO office
Add’l funding: 3 WL colleges, IUPUI
Initial effort - 35 faculty/20 academic departments
Capability - Multiple data-stream sources
3 grants funded; 5 pending; 6 in development

Criteria for IT-Faculty Partnerships Project has to be part of University’s strategic direction
• Work out priotities with the VPR
Extra points for interdisciplinary projects• Consistent with Purdue strategic directions
Funding potential• Two approaches to proposals
Both sides have something to gain (in each other’s critical path) • In addition to monetary
Project should be innovative
Write it down (project management)
Resources (have done loss leaders but…)• Loss leaders early to establish credibility

Partnership Example: Nanotechnology
NSF funded Purdue to lead the Network for Computational Nanotechnology (NCN); $10.5M/5 year; added $1.5M/year since inception.
NCN is about computing: new algorithms, approaches, and software tools with capabilities not yet available commercially.
NanoHUB (science gateway): on-line resources via web-based clearing-house that makes software and simulations available to researchers.
Partners: Purdue, UTEP; UF; UIUC; Stanford; Northwestern
Origins: PUNCH developed by research group, but ITaP has taken over the operation and support of this resource
Serves nanotechnology researchers at Purdue and several thousand others worldwide.
Jointly appointed staff & faculty members
Leveraged into a grid service for heterogeneous computing under a National Middleware Initiative deployment grant.

Leverage and Focus
Bridge the gaps from top to bottom !
NSF-funded effort to build computational tools for a scientific community…
Purdue developed - provides a “Gateway” to distribute scientific knowledge and applications
Using middleware that makes the user experience seamless and rich
(Recent $3M award to Purdue with
UWisconsin and UFlorida as subs)
And ties to a new infrastructure that goes beyond traditional HPC
